alcoholic beverages, and the applicant has been complying with that requirement. J. D. Broderius,

time, which saves taxpayer dollars. Jeanette Montes, applicant, stated she concurs with the request of

CONSIDER AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT FOR JAIL MEDICAL UNIT SERVICE AND AUTHORIZE
CHAIR TO SIGN - CORRECTIONAL HEALTHCARE MANAGEMENT, INC.: Rick Dill, Weld County
Sheriff's Office, stated this is an annual agreement for inmate medical services in the jail. He stated the
term is from full execution of the document,through December 31,2003. He explained this will be the third
and final year of the current agreement, and the services will be rebid for a new contract next year. Mr.
Dill stated the amendment reflects an increase in costs to$839,339 to cover additional staff and increased
pharmaceutical costs. Mr. Dill further stated the jail currently exceeds the parameter of inmates covered
under the contract due to a 24 percent increase in the past two years, and the average monthly cost
is $6,400. Responding to Chair Vaad, Mr. Dill stated the contract bills an hourly rate, and the increased
amount has been included in the 2003 Budget request. In response to Commissioner Geile, Mr. Warden
explained if this is approved today, there is a provision in the Charter for appropriation of funds, and if the
budget request is not approved, this contract will be nullified. Responding to Commissioner Jerke, Mr. Dill
stated the cost covers routine services, medical, and dental, nursing staff, and all medications. He stated
there is a limit to the services provided for high-risk inmates, and the additional costs are the responsibility
of the Sheriffs Office. Mr. Warden stated if an inmate is very ill, the Sheriff's Office often tries to bond
them out through the courts to relieve the responsibility. He stated the County can purchase inmate
insurance; however, it does not appear to be a beneficial option because he does not recall hitting the limit
in the past. In response to Commissioner Jerke, Mr. Dill stated when considering the release of an inmate,
they consider the safety to the public, and medical costs to the County are a minimal consideration. He
stated medical expenses average $6.00 per day, per person, and added that the jail population is aging,
and there are many more inmates with serious chronic physical and mental problems. He explained the
jail cannot charge for the services; however, inmates who seek optional care are required to make a co-
payment. In response to Commissioner Masden, Mr. Dill stated they do case management through the
Health Department when dealing with inmates ill with Tuberculosis, and added the new facility was built
to restrict air borne pathogens. Commissioner Jerke moved to approve said amendment and authorize
the Chair to sign. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Long, and it carried unanimously.
